this is a tax that taxes innovation, increases health care costs and also is a tax that kills good-paying american jobs. finally, we want the new medical devices to be developed here in this country. we don't want them to be developed in europe because of an onerous tax. what we're going to see is that americans are going to have less access to the very new and best products because it's going to become too costly in this country for new companies to develop those products and for start-ups. and at the end of the day it will be sad for americans. so i would urge my colleagues to support senator hatch's amendment and again thank him for his leadership. thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: who yields time? mr. sessions: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from alabama. mr. sessions: mr. president, i think we had a confusion on the time here. i had reserved ten minutes. i had 17 under the motion. and i think there's been a confusion about it. what is the status of the time? i would ask that i be allowed to have ten minutes. the presiding officer: the time until 8:10

their own responsibility to shape the national consensus, and it must include their paying all their taxes in order to provide state with the resources it needs to fund basic health, education, and infrastructure. you know, haiti remains a country of great contrast. the families who live in the estates and those in the gullies alongside the roads leading up to the estates, the contrast is also in the investment of $3 billion in three years, yet, haiti has dropped three spots on the human development index. another contrast relates to citizen security. haiti now has 66 -- 6684 military troops and 2614 fleets in the u.n. peace keeping mission and also has 10,000 fleets within the police force; however, there's a 33% increase in homicide in the last three months of 2012 compared to 2011. kidnappings up by a third. rapes rose from 33 a month to 40 a month in 2012. the report from the secretary regime noted, and i want to emphasize this, that over the course of the past year, the government has fired seven of the chief prosecutors for the department which is port-au-prince and removed two inspe
